These Days

We just finished week 6 of quarantine due to COVID-19. People are coping in different ways and I've seen a lot of people bake bread and desserts, our house included. So far, I've made four cakes and two batches of cookies. All from scratch. I think this is my first time to bake anything from scratch,  not using store-bought mix. I don't have a mixer so all this baking has been done by hand. I didn't want to buy a gadget that may not be used a lot, but I've enjoyed baking so far... The first cake was too heavy (still good) because I did not get the mixing order right, but the later ones are much better. :) Chocolate Chip Cookies - Batch 1 Chocolate Chip Cookies - Batch 2. I followed this recipe:  https://newsroom.hilton.com/static-doubletree-reveals-cookie-recipe.htm Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for Rich's birthday. Butter cake with vanilla frosting for Daniela's birthday. Chocolate cake for our anniversary. No fros

We had Leanne's dedication/parent commissioning on February 20 - 02.20.2020. :) We invited a few friends and we had lunch at a buffet restaurant afterwards. We chose Proverbs 3:5-6 as her life verse. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

We got one snow day this year! After two years, we were so excited to see snowfall and the earth blanketed in white. It didn't last long but we made the most of it.
